Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Translated for young English readers by Sibylle Kazeroid, The Bravest Mouse is written and illustrated picture book story by Maria Barbero concerning Sasha, a clever boy mouse with an unfortunate birthmark - a big black ring around his left eye. But when a hungry cat threatens his neighborhood, Sasha invents and carries out a clever plan to bell the cat, and his own birthmark becomes a sign of honor in this engaging, warmly illustrated, and thoroughly "kid friendly" story.

Sasha's mother has always told him he is the most handsome mouse in the world, but one day he sees his reflection in a pot lid and discovers that he has a big black circle around his left eye. Self-conscious about his birthmark, Sasha manages to forget his own troubles only when a mouse-eating cat threatens the neighborhood. Cleverly thwarting the cat, Sasha wins the respect and admiration of his peers, who from then on all want to have birthmarks just like Sasha's!--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
